When I started out I had no idea how to get more traffic or followers and it was kind of a tough learning process. I actually almost gave up on my blog and if it hadn’t been for those two followers I had I may have actually given up on blogging altogether which is a scary thought! But thankfully I kept blogging and I eventually started gaining followers and got more traffic. Here are some of the ways I did that:

Reach Out- If you want other bloggers to view your posts and leave you likes, comments and follows you should be doing the same! Especially if you’re just starting out it’s a good idea to check out other peoples blogs- not only will you learn new things from them you’ll also start getting your own name out there. It helps to leave comments because then they’ll notice you and most…

Especially if you’re just starting out it’s a good idea to check out other peoples blogs- not only will you learn new things from them you’ll also start getting your own name out there. It helps to leave comments because then they’ll notice you and most likely check out your blog as well. However, make sure you don’t just like posts for the sake of it and you don’t just follow random people for follow backs because it’s important to be authentic and get real followers who will engage.

Be Regular- It’s so important to post regularly because your traffic and number of followers will drop as soon as you stop posting regularly. And if you post regularly you’ll notice a rise in likes and followers. I learnt that the hard way because I spent a long time posting randomly and not getting a lot of follows/likes but as soon as I started posting regularly I was like “OMG”.

Tags Are Important- Make sure to Google before you post to see what the most viewed tags on WordPress and most Goggled words are so you can add some of the relevant ones to the tags on your post. But don’t add random irrelevant tags because honestly that’s just annoying.

What’s your niche?- Make sure to like and follow bloggers who write about the same or similar topic/topics because they are way more likely to follow you back. Also search some relevant tags on your reader to find similar blogs!

Keep It Real- Keep your writing honest because people can tell when you’re being fake or lying and no one really wants to read a blog like that. People will appreciate your writing more if it’s honest and you’re not afraid to express your opinions and they’ll be more likely to give you a follow!

Have Fun With It!- Honestly, don’t stress out too much about followers and likes because at the end of the day you should enjoy what you do and if you write just for the likes/follows it will kind of suck the fun out of blogging.

If you know me well you probably know I have a pretty severe sometimes scary obsession with stationery! I love stationery- I love how it looks, I love the way it feels the first time you use it and most of all I love shopping for it! However, unfortunately I can’t buy all the stationery in the world (although I am trying slowly but surely) and I usually just end up staring at pretty pictures of it on Instagram or Pinterest which is how I found Old English Company!

They’re a fun and super cute site with literally the most adorable stationery! They were established in London but are now located in Stamford. They have these amazing things with the best little messages and honestly I’m so obsessed with them right now!

Recently I signed up for Bookbub and honestly it has been such a great experience!

You guys have probably heard of it but just in case you haven’t heard of it basically what they do is they email you a list of books that are on a discounted price or going for free on Amazon.

I decided to sign up for fun not expecting much but in the last few months I’ve ended up getting over a hundred books for free and I had to share it with you guys in case any of you would be interested in it! I wanted to wait a while to make sure it was legit and that I wouldn’t end up having to pay for anything but so far it’s totally legit.

And the best part is that it’s a completely free site. All you have to do is sign up!

So my midterms finally ended yesterday and I’m finally a little more free! I’m getting some Korean food tomorrow (because I literally love Korean food so much!!) and planning on relaxing a little! I still have a psychology quiz left but it’s online and pretty easy!
